    My speedometer works, but will not drop below 10 MPH - even when stopped.

    Any ideas?

    Not this one again : there's a great big pin stopping it

    If you look for the last thread a couple of week's ago there's a long discussion about why its there

    I believe mine was like that as well.

    I think it's normal. :eek:

    Yes...don't worry. It's not supposed to. There is a little stop pin at 10 MPH if you look closely. I thought mine had an issue too when I first got it.

    just make varroom sounds in the driveway.

    But almost every Ferrari has that benefit of driving fast even when parked. Don't worry about it the speedo is only for estimation.

    All Ferraris is so fast that they doesen´t bother counting speeds under 10 mph. Right? :)

    Classic Ferrari arrogance - speeds this low just aren't worth displaying...

    Oh please this is common in all Ferraris and other European cars mostly Italian brands but others have the same design.

    Old Lambos like the Miura starts their speedos at 40 km/h. Anything below that is irrelevant.
    Nothing to worry about.
